Got a Spark Sport “welcome back” email on Saturday morning.   Surprised since I had suspended in Dec 2022, with no intention to resume.

 

Was sure it was a very realistic scam mail …. Until I looked at credit card activity.  A 1 month charge.  ( yes my mistake to not remove card details when suspending).

 

On checking with their customer service, was told I had watched UEFA that morning.  Again a surprise!

 

Asked for credit in view of no intention to use their service.

 

They are declining refund, suggesting that in all cases the account is under my control so re activation is treated as my responsibility.  ( can’t see how this would be the case if their system was hacked).

 

I’m pretty sure their no-refund attitude goes against all standards I’m aware of.

 

Wondered if any users have had this experience?

Result!

 

After weekend of exchanging emails with Spark Sport customer service people, they eventually admitted they could not locate the device they claim used my account to watch UEFA.  But assured me it was Windows 10 with Chrome browser.  Which we don’t have.

 

Anyway the 3rd person involved (again with only a Christian name in their email signature) reversed their position taken in their first 6 emails, & said they are closing account and refunding me.

 

Thanks for the suggestions.
